Enhancements they could do are things like putting a green roof on,
which can certainly reduce the cooling bills in the summer.
Just looking at insulation, just looking at trying to make your building
as heat tight as possible.
A concept that I heard of a few years ago is an off switch for buildings,
which is something I'd like to see again,
so the last person to leave presses a big button and it turns everything non-essential
off.
Obviously I’m sure all the IT guys would go "oh, you can't turn this off,
you can't turn that off", but separate them out
so that there are certain things you do need to keep and turn
everything else off just by pressing one button on the way out.
Green is kind of what we do; it's what differentiates us in our market place,
in our industry. So, in terms of measures
that we're doing, we've gone to a kind of lean computing systems,
that reduce our energy consumption.
In the future, we're going to be looking at solar panel installations.
Well, we can't do very much so far because we are tenants,
but we are going to move in a new space sometime next year hopefully
and we are looking at setting up a business where all the right things to
save money will be implemented as well as being obviously a bit greener.
